    So far this morning I've had one client tell me,"Well, *I HAVE* gone to art school, you know." when i suggested that making both item names AND the descriptions on his menu would defeat the purpose of using bold. Not to mention it just looks like ass.

    Then I had another client give me a list of words she wanted used in her ad.

    client - Use it just like that. we've calculated that it's a nice flow.

    me - :|
    So you don't want an "and" in front of the last word?

    client - No, just straight line it and then send each to the right.

    me - ;|
    I'm sorry, i don't understand what you mean by that.

    client - well, if *I* were trying to interpret what *I* just said, i would say to carriage return each word with no comma and then move each word over to the right a little.

    me - Like a *gag* stair case?

    client - YES! A STAIRCASE! That's an excellent description.

    If the day continues like this, I will seriously over-react.

    Gee... I thought all designers were psychic. Oh yeah, and all designers use Macs? Right?

    most recent clientism:
    'yeah, site redesign looks great. One thing - can we keep our logo on black, becuase we like the way the white lettering 'pops'.

    'Its still white on black, I just moved it across...'

    'Can we just make it pop a bit more.....?'

    (Sure, I'll invent some new RGB colors like "#gggggg" and #-55-55-55, hows that for you ?

    You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge

    Verse One: Ice Cube

    Straight outta Compton, crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube
    From the gang called Niggaz With Attitudes
    When I'm called off, I got a sawed off
    Squeeze the trigger, and bodies are hauled off
    You too, boy, if ya fuck with me
    The police are gonna hafta come and get me
    Off yo ass, that's how I'm goin out
    For the punk motherfuckers that's showin out
    Niggaz start to mumble, they wanna rumble
    Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
    Goin off on a motherfucker like that
    with a gat that's pointed at yo ass
    So give it up smooth
    Ain't no tellin when I'm down for a jack move
    Here's a murder rap to keep yo dancin
    with a crime record like Charles Manson
    AK-47 is the tool
    Don't make me act the motherfuckin fool
    Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
    I'm knockin niggaz out tha box, daily
    yo weekly, monthly and yearly
    until them dumb motherfuckers see clearly
    that I'm down with the capital C-P-T
    Boy you can't fuck with me
    So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck
    Coz Ice Cube is crazy as fuck
    As I leave, believe I'm stompin
    but when I come back, boy, I'm comin straight outta Compton

    Chorus:

    [City of Compton, City of Compton]

    [Eazy E] Yo Ren
    [MC Ren] Whassup?
    [Eazy E] Tell em where you from!

    Verse Two: MC Ren

    Straight outta Compton, another crazy ass nigga
    More punks I smoke, yo, my rep gets bigger
    I'm a bad motherfucker and you know this
    But the pussy ass niggaz don't show this
    But I don't give a fuck, I'ma make my snaps
    If not from the records, from jackin the crops
    Just like burglary, the definition is 'jackin'
    And when illegally armed it's called 'packin'
    Shoot a motherfucker in a minute
    I find a good piece o' pussy, I go up in it
    So if you're at a show in the front row
    I'm a call you a bitch or dirty-ass ho
    You'll probably get mad like a bitch is supposed to
    But that shows me, slut, you're composed to
    a crazy muthafucker from tha street
    Attitude legit cause I'm tearin up shit
    MC Ren controls the automatic
    For any dumb muthafucker that starts static
    Not the right hand cause I'm the hand itself
    every time I pull a AK off the shelf
    The security is maximum and that's a law
    R-E-N spells Ren but I'm raw
    See, coz I'm the motherfuckin villain
    The definition is clear, you're the witness of a killin
    that's takin place without a clue
    And once you're on the scope, your ass is through
    Look, you might take it as a trip
    but a nigga like Ren is on a gangsta tip
    Straight outta Compton...

    Chorus:

    [City of Compton, City of Compton]

    [Dr. Dre] Eazy is his name and the boy is comin...

    Verse Three: Eazy-E

    ...straight outta Compton
    is a brotha that'll smother yo' mother
    and make ya sister think I love her
    Dangerous motherfucker raises hell
    And if I ever get caught I make bail
    See, I don't give a fuck, that's the problem
    I see a motherfuckin cop I don't dodge him
    But I'm smart, lay low, creep a while
    And when I see a punk pass, I smile
    To me it's kinda funny, the attitude showin a nigga drivin
    but don't know where the fuck he's going, just rollin
    lookin for the one they call Eazy
    But here's a flash, they never seize me
    Ruthless! Never seen like a shadow in the dark
    except when I unload, see I'll get over the hesitation
    and hear the scream of the one who got the last penetration
    Give a little gust of wind and I'm jettin
    But leave a memory no one'll be forgettin
    So what about the bitch who got shot? Fuck her!
    You think I give a damn about a bitch? I ain't a sucker!
    This is the autobiography of the E, and if you ever fuck with me
    You'll get taken by a stupid dope brotha who will smother
    word to the motherfucker, straight outta Compton

    Chorus:

    [City of Compton, City of Compton]

    [Damn that shit was dope!]

    *bump.

    This was too good not to share. Site is designed and developed, and ready to go TODAY. Now I get this:

    "In terms of the layout, the **** logo doesn't seem to come across as much as it could. Can I suggest the following:
    **** logo in the top left (stradling the margin) followed by the words "sponsored by ****, followed by **** logo (bigger) in the top right. Then have the big bold "**** Thursday 9 June 2005" under the **** logo on the left had side. I suggest that the "in association with the **** and **** and their logos are then included at the bottom left of each page (to fill the gap). I think that you can then dispense with the margin and spread all the text across the entire pages."

    Tit.

    Oh yeah. His last threat:

    "I'm sure that I will think of more."

    Not if I kill you first.

    I just took great pleasure in shooting him down.

  • davey_g0

    So sick of stupid words from clients, like:

    Pizzaz, Jazz it up, Make it pop, Where's my logo-why so small? Just needs a quick smoothing over, quick color change...and My secretary took a stab at that logo-wanna look?

    Sometimes you just gotta go off on at least one client a year...fucking blow up on them! It's probably the most fun you can have and they seem to respect you more afterwards, if they don't fire you first.

    I'm out.

    "We are very very impressed with the comps! I'm sending your check tomorrow! Very impressed!"
